De Dios viene el bien y de las abejas la miel
Our Story
A family business
For Lourdes Martinez, who has a degree in homeopathy and a degree in public accounting in Mexico, having a company like Ap Nature in her life has always been important. “I have always liked all bee products for all their benefits,” confirms homeopath Martinez, who has practiced homeopathy for more than 25 years and believes that natural medicine is the best option for wellness. “In 2015 we began distributing products made from honey and the hive produced by other companies, later we began to research the possibility of joining the industry, because my husband is a zootechnical veterinarian and it just made sense. After a lot of research and taking many classes and workshops at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, UNAM, taking international courses with suppliers in Argentina and other local institutions in Guadalajara, we began to produce products derived from honey ”, she concluded.
Mexican MVZ Rafael took a class on beekeeping in college, without focusing on it in his professional career, and it was not until 2015 after the research was carried out by Lourdes, that they began to work on the apiary and they ventured into the manufacture of these products. . The first two years were spent on research, development and recordkeeping. By 2017, all the products in the company were developed and registered in the country’s government entities, and Ap Nature began to sell their products.
Ap Nature is the a product of love and family union where Mónica, a nutritionist and homeopath in Mexico, has been in charge of corroborating nutritional tables of the products and investigates the quality and benefits of each raw material used to ensure the highest quality products.
While Paola has been in charge of the area of corporate image, brand research and development, advertising and sales. For Paola and the whole family, it is important to have a company that is environmentally conscious and helps its clients regain and maintain wellness with small and smart adjustments to their lifestyles.

Lourdes Martinez
Homeopathy (Mexico)
My first degree was public accounting, I finished my degree but my heart was never there, my intuition told me that my life’s mission was a different path and even though it took me many years to find what my life purpose was, one day I realized what it was and still is, I want to contribute to my community, I realized that my life’s goal was not to have too much money or to own too many things, for me it was more important to be useful in society and to be able help those who need it. I realized that the best way to do it would be to study the homeopathy, being able to improve the most important thing we have, our life, and that health is necessary for this, but I figured it out in a very organic way, after suffering from migraines for years and not finding a solution, I learned about Homeopathy, which was the medicine that cured me, from then on, I knew that I had already found what I longed for. I am passionate about Homeopathy and what makes me happiest is to see my patients full of health. Years later, together with my husband, we started Ap Nature in a very short period of time, our two daughters joined the project soon after we launched. Ap Nature has been another great dream and passion for me since these products are 100% natural and we have the opportunity to continue helping people to improve their lifestyles, to use less chemicals and to take care of bees, but above all to take care of our planet.

I studied Zootechnical Veterinary, and for the greatest part of my life I dedicated myself to the be a field veterinarian, especially concentrated in cattle and horses. Working with farmers pleases me a lot, I enjoy the simplicity and kindness in the country side. With my wife we often talked about the benefits of honey and the bee products. In 2015 I decided to turnaround my career path, and now I am a beekeeper, a branch of veterinary medicine, in which I did not have much experience, but I had studied some of it in college when I studied my career. We decided to start with 25 niches while attending seminars and workshops on beekeeping. it later developed into complete hives. Working with bees, I respect their ecosystems and othe rganization with which they work, it surprised me and I fell in love with bees. Also, with this project, we developed the possibility to provided added value to honey by making nutrition, wellness and cosmetic products, and thanks to God and the bees we have kept busy and overcoming every challenge that comes our way.
